Ingredients

• 250 grams Rye flour
• 150 grams All-purpose flour
• 250 ml Warm water (about 110°F/45°C)
• 7 grams Instant yeast
• 7 grams Salt
• 30 grams Honey
• 30 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
• 100 grams Chopped pecans
• 100 grams Raisins

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rye flour, all-purpose flour, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm water, honey, and instant yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes foamy, indicating the yeast is activated.

Step 3

Add the yeast mixture and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more all-purpose flour, one tablespoon at a time.

Step 5

Gently knead in the chopped pecans and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Form the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Punch down the dough to release excess air and shape it into a loaf or round boule. Place the shaped dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or into a greased loaf pan.

Step 8

Cover the dough again and let it rise for another 30-40 minutes, or until it's slightly puffy.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If desired, lightly score the top of the loaf with a sharp knife for decoration.

Step 10

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 11

Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
